About Gina
Gina Hossu is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years' experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression and parenting pressures. She lists family and parenting among her focus areas and works with issues such as relationship strain, grief, addictions and trauma and abuse. Gina also supports people facing work-related strain, compassion fatigue and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.
She uses practical methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Sessions often include looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, learning small behavioural steps and noticing emotional responses. The work aims to produce clear, doable actions rather than abstract plans.
Gina combines person-centred and attachment-based ideas to help people understand how past connections affect present relationships. That can be useful when someone wants to sort recurring patterns in how they relate to partners or family members. She also works with issues linked to ADHD, body image and caregiver stress.
Her approach is conversational and goal-focused. People can expect to set priorities, try practical experiments between sessions and check what is or isn’t working. Gina describes therapy as collaborative - she listens and offers tools that fit everyday life.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients follow the online matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How her approaches adapt to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and difficulties that keep people stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence present connections and can help with recurring conflicts and trust issues.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals and preferences. That means discussing what feels useful, trying different techniques, and adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.
Confirm the session formats before you book because the profile does not list specific options. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family life or work. It can allow shorter check-ins on busy days, let someone choose a session without travel, and reduce time spent arranging childcare. Registered and accredited professionals offer online sessions that aim to focus on practical steps, emotional understanding and real-life experiments that translate into day-to-day routines.
